Today, we are going to talk about the import and export of product attributes for Magento 2. Operating an e-commerce store is associated with numerous processes.

Magento 2 heavily relies on attributes, attribute sets, and attribute values. You may need to update them frequently to keep your catalog in order. Although the platform delivers all the tools necessary to manage your attributes and all the related data, your daily routine turns into an unbearable burden if you work with hundreds of records.

You can import and export attributes, attribute sets, and attribute values in Magento 2, replacing various manual tasks and automating your management routine. Below, we shed light on how to enable this functionality in your store even though Magento 2 lacks the corresponding features. A little spoiler: you need to install the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension. It will help you transfer Magento 2 attributes, values, and attribute sets to and from your e-commerce website.
